Comment on Solar powered personal umbrella with battery?

  I think there are some test roads in the Netherlands on the bike lane. Roads are used in all weather conditions, 24/7. Umbrellas not. Roads have approximately the same energy yield as any solar panel on the roof, minus the suboptimal angle and minus the road users causing shadows.

    If you don’t see the absurd part in trying to put solar panels as a road then I’m sorry I can’t do anything for you 😁. There are exactly 0 practical reasons to do so.

      There is nothing absurd about it. Every surface, which is constantly exposed to the sun, should be covered in PV panels.

        Yeah, starting with a fucking road and having cars drive on it all the time instead of like, you know, putting the fragile panel on the side, so smart. I hope you’re joking 😂😅 what’s next, at the bottom of a pool?
